What our past students said:
”I was fairly clueless of what I was getting myself into by agreeing to do correspondence studying. My fanatical support coach was very patient, supportive and encouraging even when I did not reach deadlines on time and on days when I wanted to give up, I was treated with respect and courtesy. The experience was overwhelmingly good. Thank you, Academy of York.”
